Did Your G/Reshade Disappear?

If you’re like me, you went into a panic as GShade completely went away without doing a thing (knowingly). Well don’t worry. We have a resolution!

The Sims/EA updated the EA app and in doing so, it caused the code to delete a file that is used by our favorite overlay/beautiful program.

WHAT TO DO /

You need to check your version of the EA app by going to the top left and clicking "About" and make sure you are running version 13.501.1.6009 the one ending in 6019 is the culprit. Now, if you have 6019, go to EA's website here / https://www.ea.com/ea-app / and download the EA App and click "repair" that will push your application to the 6009 version. Now, go to your GShade control panel, go to installs then add and then "install" it to your game again. So, find it in your Bin, TS4_x64.exe and do your appropriate shaders (if you're on dx9 or 11) and then save. Your game should work appropriately along with GShade once again.

// IF YOU HAVE RESHADE //

Simply follow the steps above to update the EA app and then reinstall Reshade onto your computer

It’s been stated that it might show up one time then go away a second time, or not work at all even when doing the steps provided. If that’s the case simply repeat the steps until it works because over time, it will. If you’re still having issues I highly recommend visiting the GShade discord and they can help you much more in depth!

Good luck simmers!

Yes - like at the end I said sometimes it can still happen so you have to do it again :)

How do they manage to fix nothing they should be and break everything they shouldn’t even be touching?
